Did you know the best enders are located in the smallest looking of rushing white water? I find the place where the water is rushing between the rocks without many air bubbles and drop the nose of my kayak in where the water is rushing through that space. When I do this almost always the pressure of the water will push the boat down to where I go from sitting in the boat to standing on the foot pegs or bulk head foot rest. Once the kayak is vertical in the water, I take my paddle and make a sweep through the water to make the boat spin.

I was amazed to see so many trout jumping and moving up stream for spawning season.

Have you ever tried rolling a kayak with no success? I do believe this is the hardest thing to learn in kayaking. I have learned that most all kayaks can be rolled under the right circumstances. There has to be much will power of the kayaker to roll the kayak. I have learned through experience the key to getting the kayak to roll is all in the snap of your hips while rolling up to give the boat that extra boost to sit back right side up. ">
